Charles Leclerc dreams of ninth in Austin: Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in crosshairs

Charles Leclerc is pumped up ahead of the U.S. GP. He retains good memories of the Austin circuit, considering that, last year, he won the GP. In fact, his last success in Formula 1.

It has now been a year since that brilliant victory. A year marked by many disappointments and a feeling with the SF-25 that was never ignited. The Monegasque has also sworn allegiance to the Redhead for the future but wants to return, as soon as possible, to cross the finish line first.

Currently, the 28-year-old Monegasque driver is stuck at eight GP wins in Formula 1. He occupies the 39th position in the All-time ranking of multiple F1 winners (in first place, unreachable, is Lewis Hamilton with 105 successes, third is Max Verstappen with 67 GP wins).

The driver’s first place is in the top ten.

Ahead of him, with nine GPs won each, are Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, or the two McLaren drivers who are vying for the title of World Champion for the 2025 season. Charles Leclerc, out of the duel for the World Drivers’ Championship, hopes to at least hook them up in the ranking of the most successful drivers in Formula 1 history. He will try in Austin, a GP that, last year, gave him great joy, his last in Ferrari.
